Sell Them What They Want, Give Them What They Need 25:25

4 years тому25:25

25:25

Before you figure out what you want to sell, you need to first figure out what people are willing to pay for. Your job is to create something unique, something that at first meets a felt need of a person but then, in some way, goes beyond what they thought they wanted.

To start a business, you need more than passion. Getting paid to create really is about getting clear on what people want. Before we get into the super practical work of actually accepting money from other people, we need to get clear on what we have to offer.

Get Paid to Create 25:31

5 years тому25:31

Why do we create? To share a thought: an idea, a story, a paradigm. To help another person, perhaps, simply by saying something others are unwilling to say. This week, I'm hosting a free, 5-day challenge to get you to take action. My goal for you is to go from zero to one. To get unstuck in a significant way that will allow you to create momentum in your work so that you can finally get paid to create. To find out more, check out goinswriter.com/paidtocreate .…

What Words Can Do 25:31

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what words can do. They can cut a person down or lift them up. They can overwhelm another with beauty or devastate their soul. I am always searching for the words that want to be said because when you find them, they can change everything.

How to Stop Being Distracted and Do What Matters: Interview with Nir Eyal 41:06

5 years тому41:06

41:06

Distraction is no friend to a writer. But we all have had our dance with her before, haven't we? She is everywhere, all around us, from the devices we use to the websites we visit, to how we consume our news and media. If we are going to truly do work that matters, however, we can't just fight distraction. We have to understand it. In this episode, you'll hear: How most distraction starts from within and why all behavior stems from the relief of discomfort. Why time management is pain management. If you don’t understand the discomfort you are trying to escape, then you’ll never master distraction. Why you can’t separate what makes something engaging from what makes something potentially addictive. The danger behind the word “addictive”. How to make yourself indistractable. The three nutrients kids are missing and why kids are drawn to technology, plus how to help them become indistractable. Nir is the author of Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products and Indistractable . You can find him at nirandfar.com .…
